What happened to speech recognition?

Speech recognition features are not available in the Microsoft Office 2010 programs.

To use speech recognition features, run Windows Speech Recognition in Windows Vista. For more

information see Use speech Recognition to operate windows and programs.

 NOTES 

If your operating system is Microsoft Windows XP, you must run a previous version of a

Microsoft Office system program to use speech recognition features.

In Microsoft Excel 2010, you can use text-to-speech functionality, which is different from

speech recognition. To use text-to-speech commands, see I don't see commands for converting

text to speech.
